Hey everyone! I'm looking for some opinions on the Crucial E100 2TB SSD. I'm considering it mainly for gaming. Is it a good choice? Any thoughts on its performance or reliability?

Honestly, I would steer clear of the Crucial E100. It's made with lower-tier chips that just barely pass quality control. Crucial doesn’t offer a good warranty on it because they know the chips aren't exactly up to par. You might think you’re getting a deal, but it’s more of a scam move, especially when you see it listed as OEM. It’s not meant for serious gaming, especially if you're looking to do a lot of reading and writing. I’d look for something better.
Just a heads up, SSDs and rain really don’t mix well. Make sure your setup is dry!
Try to stick with reputable brands like Kingston, Samsung, or Silicon Power. If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Don't fall into those traps!
I found the Patriot P400 Lite 2TB—would that be a decent option?
What budget SSDs would you suggest?
If you're looking for something at a similar price, check out the Patriot P310. Or the P320/P400 Lite could be good options too. Just make sure your OS is on a solid drive alongside your games.

Yikes, that endurance rating is pretty low. For just a little more, you could likely get something way better.
